Going to wrap the cheap plastic chrome on my 2016 fit.
I did some research but everything I found was for the older gens. In their videos with a little wiggling they were able to remove the wiper.

I’ve already taken off the plastic cover and bolt but it does not seem to want to break free. Am I not wiggling it hard enough?



Na

 

I suspect there is a lot of friction that prevents the removal of the wiper arm from the splined shaft. There shouldn't be any locking mechanism besides the nut that you already removed. Use a little WD 40 and use a screwdriver to slowly lift the arm out. Of course you want to use a rag to prevent scratching the plastic chrome. I would put the wiper arm back on the windshield to reduce potential springing accidents.

 

What are you planning on wrapping it with?
I'd like to do the same on my 16 Fit as well....

 

Wiggle and pull.

 

chameleon purple/green I think found on Amazon. Went with the more expensive one

 

I tried wd40 with no luck. I’ll keep trying tho

 

any luck?
I ordered the plasti dip kit and wanted to do this while doing the wheels.
Probably make a fun weekend project

 

I sprayed it twice and had no luck getting it off each time. Afraid to really tug on it. No wiggle room at all. Is yours a 3rd gen? Let me know how it goes

 

stick a flat head screwdriver under the arm and wiggle it back and forth. Continue the same to the opposite side.
